The label reads “sauce,” but there’s more. San Marcos Chilpotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce includes whole smoked jalapeño chilies in a lightly seasoned tomato broth good for flavoring meats and as a taco sauce.

It’s a perfect flavoring for salsa and other Mexican dishes, but beware, it’s warm to Mexican palates, hot to others’.

The product is available in Mexican or ethnic sections of groceries. Select cans of whole peppers in adobo or sauce only.
